The front cover was redesigned, the Eagle name appearing across the top of the page rather than in one corner, coinciding with a new-look Dare. Many readers found Bellamy's changes to Dare (made at the behest of ""Eagle""s publisher) objectionable. Bellamy was succeeded by Harley, who in 1962 was followed by Watson, who had returned from a short stint working on ""Eagle""s rival, ""Lion"". Watson stopped drawing Dan Dare in 1967, and was"

When ""Wildcat"" merged with the ""Eagle"" comic and became the New Eagle, Pugh handed ""Loner"" over to Eric Bradbury and took on the challenge of reinventing his own childhood hero, Dan Dare. David was fortunate to alternate with Keith Watson from the original Frank Hampson studio. Together they recreated Dare into an eighties action hero, retaining the look of the original character but heavily influenced by movies such as ""Alien"" and ""Predator"".

Like many of the early ""Eagle"" strips, the original strip appeared in photographic fumetti format, requiring an actor in a custom-made rubber mask and hands and low-budget special effects. Despite this, the strip succeeded in producing atmosphere and dealt with adult issues such as environmentalism. The ""Doomlord"" strip was a ""breakout"" strip that was extremely popular, even more so than Dan Dare who was Eagle's main attraction. The strip returned in Eagle issue 21, titled ""Doomlord II"", and was considerably more science fiction in approach. It revealed that"

In 1985, following the success of the film ""Tron"" and the incorporation of the ""Tiger"", the Eagle launched a new strip called ""The Ultimate Warrior"".

"Dan Dare Dan Dare is a British science fiction comic hero, created by illustrator Frank Hampson who also wrote the first stories. Dare appeared in the ""Eagle"" comic story ""Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future"" from 1950 to 1967 (and subsequently in reprints), and dramatised seven times a week on Radio Luxembourg (1951–1956). The stories were set in the late 1990s, but the dialogue and manner of the characters is reminiscent of British war films of the 1950s.

It is in full colour and contains art well up to the best of commercial standards. Other regular contributors include Tim Booth, who now co-draws the lead ""The Green Nemesis"" (the sequel to ""The Phoenix Mission"" strip), also written by Rod Barzilay; and Keith Page, who drew several revived Dan Dare strips in New Eagle.
